Where was I again?
I'm not sure what I'm about to write today, but I believe, with almost a year of not writing anything, you and I both (but you mostly) deserve an apology.
It was an unintentionally long break watching films, rummaging books, consuming media — anything to inspire me to write. I had the themes in mind and a schedule to follow, but I realized it just further pushed me back. I kept saying, I'm gonna do something about it, do a newsletter reset, change my columns completely, but none of that ever happened.
And so here we are.
Scrap the weekly columns. I'll write to you without those restrictions and at an indefinite time. You may not know when to hear from me, but trust that you will hear from me. (That sounds like a threat, but anyway)
Life has been nothing short of mundane. And it’s nice.
Getting by, day by day, watching another movie, playing another game, listening to another playlist, looking for another book (to add to my existing backlog). Slowly, slowly giving little to no care despite how noisy and chaotic the world is. I tried to write little film reviews in my Letterboxd account, and all of a sudden just stopped logging the rest. I have to do better.
I’m mostly excited about 2025, with summer being my bridesmaid season. I’ll make sure to take pictures and share them with you :)
There’s still much work to be done here, but that’s for another day. We’re still taking things one step at a time. I’m just thrilled to be doing this again, sharing bits of my journey with you.
I pray that this year is kind and gentle to us. ‘Til next time!
